    Military heroes and others from our clandestine forces from around the world and now stunt people all that's missing is midget wrestlers and our diversity will be complete !! Lol..I mean why not drive a automatic for your stunts ??

    I have driven automatics for some of the truck stunts I've done but I can only drive what is provided to me. If production likes the look of a truck, they don't care what transmission is in it.

    The original, Clouzot's The Wages of Fear, is also worth a watch. No Tangerine Dream tho.

    Im not sure how i can force a auto to break loose. Ive had it done on ice though a few times. Not on purpose.

    If it has a trolley on there to apply braking to trailer, I'll break her loose any time. The problem becomes getting it back.

    Would it not be such a kicker if a few years into our future a truck shows up equipped with everything and computer says no stunts allowed. /sarcasm.

    Is the transmission a Super 10, or RoadRanger?

    I have no idea and won't know until the day I work, hence asking these questions to be prepared just in case.

    One of the reasons why i ask is because i'm not sure what you mean by "splitting?"

    I'm surprised no one has asked the obvious and important questions:
    • What does stunt work pay?
    • How did you get started?
    • We know your co-workers are all Heather Thomas/Markie Post, so put up some pictures
    ;)
